Guys,

Ive just got my new Corbeau Revolution bucket seats, now i know that ive got to weld in some seat rails to fit the buckets on, but has any one cut and trimmed the tunnel/seat rail that runs from one side to the other?.( the box section that the front of the original seats fix to)


Anyone? and some seat rail pics would be good.

 

i didnt want to do that on mine so i mated them to original runners

 

How high do the buckets sit Ron?

 

Did my mates saff,and did same as ronnie,mated them to standard runners,

cheeRS stu

 

mine is on standard runners, but if its for track id say go solidly mounted, theyre much better like this

 

it dont sit to high mate, i like to sit low in the car and they are fine, i've took some pic's today of them but dont know how to work my iphone yet

when i sit in them my head is about 3-4 inches from the roof and i'm 6ft2

 

Nice one....Ive gotta fit a pair of buckets in my 3dr in a few weeks and im also 6'2"

 

keep an eye on my resto thread, their will be some pictures on their as soon as i work out how to use my phone

 

Will do.

Ive now gotta go on a quick diet so I can squeeze into my carbon spoon seats...seems they are jap person sized

 

i've got driver & passenger side spare rails if needed

 

oh!! jap's are only 2 foot tall i just bought xl's

 

Height seems just right on the seats....just a tad pinchy on my english sized, midlife spreaded arse

 

buy some of them special pants that squeeze it in

 

Sorry, Im not into that kinky shit

 

How much just out of interest?

 

back on topic, the other reason i done it like that is joe ( gs motosport) is shorter than me so when it goes to him for tuning and mapping can just slide it forward

 

i paid Ł30 for the pair mate

 

Few pics of mine. My Cobra's are wide fitment. They would not go on the original runners......so......

Tunnel hacked out so that bracket could fit. Note that the inside bracket is not bolted through the bar, The hole is in the floor pan.

I originally got the bars welded infront of the tunnel.....but it was to tight so moved them behind the tunnel hence the extra weld marks/









All Painted up.

Thanks Leigh, thats just what i needed to see, ive gone for the "fat arse" seats too.

 

i've got the fat boy seats too, and i've fitted them up to the original runners

 

i mounted mine on standard runners,i'm 6 4 and with my helmet on it would just touch the sunroof surround.

 

ive had mine mounted onto some custom brackets that allows them to fit onto the standard frames/runners.

im 6'1" and have no issies even with the cage bars and a crach helmet on.

suits me fine

 

It seems that all us 3dr owners are over six foot then

 

Na, im only 5.10, but im getting wide.
